dont worry lucy i will let you know something i did which was oil related , i hadnt changed the oil on my v6 for nearly two years which resulted in a failed oil cooler (imagine water and oil mixing lol) and cheap oil which has mucked the tappets up on the rear bank. so dont worry lol

I'll give these things a go though, how hard can it be?

Clean EGR and VTEC solenoid

well lets put it this way it takes over a hour to replace 6 spark plugs on my v6 and thats cos theres a massive manifold to remove before you can get to 3 back ones but with four sparks its a doddle.

you can do it lucy .ive never owned a honda as yet so i dont know lots but im a quick learner lol

I replaced the plugs a couple of months ago (NGK) what tools will I need to do the other jobs?

(I bet you lot are laughing at me right now!)
